Care & Cleaning
Keep system free of dirt and moisture. Store in a cool, dry place. For cleaning use a mild spray cleaner. Always
apply cleaner or polish with a soft, clean cloth.
Stainless Header System: Polished stainless steel pipes will turn a light golden hue after a few heat cycles, this is
a normal characteristic of high quality stainless steel.
Chrome Header System: Chromed header tubing will turn blue close to the exhaust ports, this is normal. To pre-
vent corrosion you must keep the header pipes clean.
Carbon Fiber & X-Metal Mufflers: X-Metal CF canisters will shift color from their original silver color to an amber
color after a few heat cycles, similar to the way our stainless steel headers shift color. Always make sure the fiber-
glass packing inside is in good condition and not burned out, as exhaust heat inside an empty canister will deterio-
rate the Carbon Fiber / X-Metal CF sleeve. TBR sells repack kits (TBR part # 005-10038) that include new rivets
and repack material as well as a drill bit (#30), making it easy to do yourself. Also, NEVER dyno test your bike with
carbon fiber mufflers installed - the intense heat and lack of cooling air can quickly cause the CF material to burn.
Two Brothers Racing does not provide a warranty for burned carbon fiber.
Aluminum Mufflers: Use an aluminum or mag wheel polish such as Mother’s to restore the bright finish to factory
spec.

We recommend that this performance exhaust system

be installed by a qualified motorcycle technician. If you
have any doubts as to your ability to install this exhaust
system, please consult with your local motorcycle deal-
er. Read all instructions first before starting installation.
Make sure the motorcycle and exhaust system are com-
pletely cool before starting the installation. Also, make
sure the bike is secure on the sidestand or ideally a rear
service stand during installation. Be sure to save all
stock exhaust components for possible use later.

1. Make sure the bike is completely cool before starting the

installation. Make sure the bike is secure on the side-
stand or ideally a rear service stand.

2. Loosen the four clamps (left and right side) that hold the

muffler connector pipe to the headers under the bike.

3. Loosen the four header nuts on the front two cylinders.

This will allow you to move the header pipes around a bit
during installation of the slip-on system.

4. On the under side of the bike, remove the bolt holding

the main collector to the bike.

5. Remove the bolts that hold that stock mufflers on and

remove the stock mufflers from the bike.

6. Install the connector tube gaskets onto the end of the

TBR s-bends. If the gaskets are in poor condition we rec-
ommend using new gaskets. Repeat on opposite side.

7. Slide the s-bends onto the end of the headers, using the

stainless steel T-bolt clamps to attach them to the head-
ers. Leave loose for now.

8. Place a bead of the hi-temp sealant on the outside edge

of the s-bend that goes into the canister. Slide the TBR
canister onto the end of the S-bend pipe. Wipe off the
excess sealant that will squeeze out. Repeat on opposite
side.

9. Install the offset hanger brackets to the front of the seat

rail using the supplied 8mm x 35mm bolts, 8mm washers
and 10mm spacers.

10. Carefully slide the canister clamp over the muffler. (Note:

The stainless steel canister clamp and the name badge
on the canister come from the factory with a clear plastic
protective film. Please remove this film before operation.)
You may need to twist and turn the S-bend a little to get it
in the right place. Locate both tabs of the canister clamp
outside of the hanger bracket. Use the 8mm x 20mm
flange bolts, 8mm washers and 8mm nylock nut to
secure it. Repeat on opposite side. Leave loose for
now.

11. Make sure everything is aligned and tighten all hardware.

Tourque the front header nuts to factory spec. Affix the
connector springs to the mufflers. Be sure that the hang-
er brackets clear the shock.
If not, readjust the system
until it does clear.

12. Before you run the bike, clean off all fingerprints and dirt,

as any oily residue will etch the metal and become some-
what permanent when the system gets hot. Run the bike
and enjoy. It is normal for some white smoke to appear
the first time you start the bike. This is packing/manufac-
turing oil from inside the pipe burning off. Check for gaps
or leaks. If you find a leak, a little high temperature silicon
sealant should fix it. After 50 to 100 miles, recheck all
fasteners for tightness.
